As part of the process agreed between University management and UCU, Associate Lecturers carrying out substantial amounts of work for the University are being invited to apply to convert to a fractional or full academic contract.
In order to be eligible, you must have completed over 100 hours work per year for the preceding three academic years (i.e. 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15) in the subject area in which you wish to apply for conversion. If you are eligible, you will be sent an email advising you to meet with your line manager, or subject group leader to discuss submitting an application.
In order to convert, there is a requirement for a continuing business need for your skills and experience within the Faculty. As such, we recommend you have a meeting ahead of submitting an application, in order to determine whether an opportunity exists.
If you do not receive an email by 28 January, but think that you might meet the criteria, please contact Vicky Rose on ext: 6160 or via email: v.rose@shu.ac.uk.
The deadline for applications is 10am on Wednesday 10 February 2016. Conversion Panels will meet to look at the applications received for conversion in April 2016.
If you require any further information please contact Vicky Rose in Human Resources Directorate or speak to a UCU representative. Further information is also available on the staff intranet.
